Mexican Fly

This dessert reminds me of creme caramel. The recipe was taken from a TV show years ago. I don't remember the name of the show, or the cook, but this recipe has been a hit at many family gatherings and work socials. It's easy to mix in a blender when preparing. This dessert stores for a couple of days in the fridge. Serve with fresh fruit.

Heat 3/4 cup sugar in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

In a blender, mix:

• 3 eggs
• 3 egg yolks (use the whites for something else - store in fridge)
• 2 oz or 1 package cream cheese.
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk. (14 oz)
  

Blend for 7 minutes.

Stir the melted sugar in the pan and once syrupy, pour into a glass pie plate. (don't burn the sugar, just melt until golden) This syrup will cool quickly and crystallize in the pan so be sure to cover the bottom of the pan completely. Be very careful not to burn yourself!

Pour blender ingredients over hardened sugar. Place pie plate in a water bath in the oven on a cookie sheet. Put the pie pan on the cookie sheet first, then place the cookie sheet in oven. Add enough water to fill cookie sheet - not pie plate - about half way up without over flowing. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 70 minutes. When done, like a custard or cheesecake, remove from oven and carefully turn out onto a serving platter. (use oven mitts and place platter over pie plate and then quickly invert. The hot syrup will burn you if you aren't very careful!

Garnish with black berries, star fruit, and peaches. Any variety works, just make it look pretty!
